Visum generale [edit]

Haec res politica occulunt informationem quae ut homo identifici potest collecta aut tenta a Vicimedia Fundatio (tempore futuro "Fundatio") in serveris ejus in relationem projectis Vicimedianis (tempore futuro "Projecta") et communitates eorum. Esse consistens cum Res Politica Retentionis Datorum, Fundatio collegit et retinet quantitatem minimam informationis quae ut homo identifici potest requisitae perficere operationes Projectorum.


Natura publica collaborativaque projectorum [edit]

Omnia Projecta Vicimediae Fundationis collaboratione ab usoribus ejus qui programmatura 'MediaVici' utuntur facta sunt. Quisquam qui adire Interrete potest (et non restrictus in modu alio) editat paginas editabiles publice situum horum cum login ut usor registratus aut non. Factis, editores documentum publicum creant, et recordatio publica verborum omnium quae addita, subtracta, aut mutata sunt. Hoc actum publicum est, et editores identifecti publice ut auctor mutationum talium. Omnes contributiones in Projecto factae, et tota informatio publica de contributionibus illis, irrevocabiliter licensa sunt et libere copietur, quotetur, utantur, et adaptetur a partitis tertiis cum restrictionibus paucis.


Activitates in projectis Fundationis [edit]

Generaliter, haec Res politica sole applicet informationi privatae quae tenta aut habita a Fundatione et non publica est.

Interactiones cum Projectis non in hac Re politica inclaudit (sed non his limissae sunt) aspectus paginas legendae editendaeque, usendum vici functionis "litteras electronicas usori mittere", subscribendum scribendumque in listis litterarum electronicarum quas Fundatio curat, et laboratoribus scribendum systema 'ticketendi' ("OTRS"). Interactiones numerum IP contributoris demonstreat et aliam informationem personalem, populo generali indiscriminate, aut gregibus specificis laboratorum qui independenter a Fundatione laborant.

Usores quoque agant cum aliis usoribus in loco externo sitibus Fundationis, litteris electronicis, IRC aut alia applicatione dicendi, aut retesitus independentia, et considere pericula, et pro privatia necessitas personalis, ante usendum horum moduum communicationis debent.


Conventa usorum et auctoritas [edit]

Fundatio non requirit editores registrare cum projecto. Quisquam sine login cum nomine usoris editere potest, ubi reti numero IP identificiet. Usores qui registrant identifecti delecto nomine usoris. Usores tesseram deligerunt, qui nonpublica est et integritatem conventi verificere utuntur. Nisi id requisitum lege est, nemo dicere de tesseris usorum et/aut panibus dulcibus HTML usorem identificere factis debet. Post creationem, conventa usorum non removebant. Nomen usoris mutari potest, si res politicae projectorum individialium id accepit. Fundatio nomina usorum mutati ad rogandum non promittit.


Causa collectionis informationis privatae [edit]

Fundatio limittit collectionem usorum datorum quae ut homo identifici potest ad causas quae bonitas projectorum servit, quae inclaudit (sed non his limissae sunt):

Accountabilitatem publicam projectorum augere. Fundatio scit systemae apertiores quae participationem maximam populi generalis acceperunt quoque abusoribus et behaviori contraproductivo apertae erunt. Fundatio et communitates projectorum mechanismos praevenire aut sarcire activitates abusivae constituerunt. Exempli gratia, ubi in projecto behaviorem abusivam investigata est, quae inclaudit usores qui "calciomarionettas" (conventa duplicata) malicie utentitur, vandalismum, contra alios usores malefacta, aut behaviorem disruptivam, numeros IP usorum (ex actis aut recordationibus in imo datorum)


Res specificae retentionis datorum [edit]

Exspectationes generales [edit]

Numerus IP et alia informatio technica [edit]

Ubi visitor paginam legit aut rogat, aut litteras electronicas servero Vicimediano mittit, major informatio non collecta est quam a retesitibus normaliter. Haec informatio post spatium definitum temporis modu automatico deleta est. Pro editoribus qui non login faciunt, numerus IP quo utuntur publice permanentiterque ut auctor mutationis creditus est. Partitus tertius identificiat auctorem numero IP et alia informatione. Login registrato nomine usoris servandum meliorem privatiae facit.

Cookies [edit]

The sites set a temporary session cookie on a visitor's computer whenever a Project page is visited. Readers who do not intend to log in or edit may deny this cookie; it will be deleted at the end of the browser's session. More cookies may be set when one logs in to maintain logged-in status. If one saves a user name or password in one's browser, that information will be saved for up to 30 days, and this information will be resent to the server on every visit to the same Project. Contributors using a public machine who do not wish to show their username to future users of the machine should clear these cookies after use.

Page history [edit]

Edits or other contributions to a Project on its articles, user pages and talk pages are generally retained forever. Removing text from a project does not permanently delete it. Normally, in projects, anyone can look at a previous version of an article and see what was there. Even if an article is "deleted", a user entrusted with higher level of access may still see what was removed from public view. Information can be permanently deleted by individuals with access to Wikimedia servers, but aside from the rare circumstance when the Foundation is required to delete editing-history material in response to a court order or equivalent legal process, there is no guarantee any permanent deletion will happen.

User contributions [edit]

User contributions are also aggregated and publicly available. User contributions are aggregated according to their registration and login status. Data on user contributions, such as the times at which users edited and the number of edits they have made, are publicly available via user contributions lists, and in aggregated forms published by other users.
Reading projects [edit]
No more information on users and other visitors reading pages is collected than is typically collected in server logs by web sites. Aside from the above raw log data collected for general purposes, page visits do not expose a visitor's identity publicly. Sampled raw log data may include the IP address of any user, but it is not reproduced publicly.
Editing projects [edit]
Edits to Project pages are identified with the username or network IP address of the editor, and editing history is aggregated by author in a contribution list. Such information will be available permanently on the projects.
Logged in registered users
Logged in users do not expose their IP address to the public except in cases of abuse, including vandalism of a wiki page by the user or by another user with the same IP address. A user's IP address is stored on the wiki servers for a period of time, during which it can be seen by server administrators and by users who have been granted CheckUser access.
IP address information, and its connection to any usernames that share it, may be released under certain circumstances (see below).
Editors using a company mail server from home or telecommuting over a DSL or cable Internet connection, are likely to be easy to identify by their IP address; in which case it may be easy to cross-identify all contributions to various Projects made by that IP. Using a username is a better way of preserving privacy in this situation.
Unlogged-in registered users and unregistered users
Editors who have not logged in may be identified by network IP address. Depending on one's connection, this IP address may be traceable to a large Internet service provider or more specifically to a school, place of business or home. It may be possible to use this information in combination with other information, including editing style and preferences, to identify an author completely.
Discussions [edit]
On wiki discussion pages
Any editable page can theoretically be the location of a discussion. In general, discussions on Foundation projects occur on user talk pages (associated with particular users), on article talk pages (associated with particular articles) or in pages specially designated to function as forums (e.g., the Village Pump). Privacy expectations apply to discussion pages in the same way as they do elsewhere.
Via email
Users are not required to list an email address when registering. Users who provide a valid email address can enable other logged-in users to send email to them through the wiki. When receiving an email from other users through this system, one's email address is not revealed to them. When choosing to send an email to other users, one's email is displayed as the sender.
The email address put into one's user preferences may be used by the Foundation for communication. Users whose accounts do not have a valid email address will not be able to reset their password if it is lost. In such a situation, however, users may be able to contact one of the Wikimedia server administrators to enter a new e-mail address. A user can remove the account's email address from his preferences at any time to prevent it from being used. Private correspondence between users may be saved at those users' discretion and is not subject to Wikimedia Foundation policy.
On mailing lists
The email addresses used to subscribe and post to Project mailing lists are exposed to other subscribers. The list archives of most such mailing lists are public, and searches of public archives may be performed on the Web. Subscribers' addresses may also be quoted in other users' messages. These email addresses and any messages sent to a mailing list may be archived and may remain available to the public permanently.
Via OTRS
Some e-mail addresses (such as info-en at wikimedia dot org) forward mail to a team of volunteers trusted by the Foundation to use a ticket system, such as OTRS, to respond. Mail sent to this system is not publicly visible, but volunteers selected by the Foundation will have access to it. The ticket system team may discuss the contents of received mail with other contributors in order to respond effectively. Mail to private addresses of members of Board of Trustees and to staff of the Foundation may also be forwarded to the OTRS team. These messages and e-mail addresses may be saved by members of the OTRS team and any email service they use, and may remain available to them.
On IRC
IRC channels are not officially part of the Wikimedia Foundation and are not operated on Wikimedia controlled servers. The IP address of users who chat over such a service may be exposed to other participants. IRC users' privacy on each channel can only be protected according to the policies of the respective service and channel. Different channels have different policies on whether logs may be published.

Access to and release of personally identifiable information [edit]

Access
Projects are primarily run by volunteer contributors. Some dedicated users are chosen by the community to be given privileged access. For example, for an English Wikipedia user, user access levels to Wikipedia are determined by the user's presence in various 'user groups'. User group rights and group members are reachable in every project from the Special:ListGroupRights page.
Other users who may have access to private identifiable information include, but are not limited to, users who have access to OTRS, or to the CheckUser and Oversight functions, users elected by project communities to serve as stewards or Arbitrators, Wikimedia Foundation employees, trustees, appointees, and contractors and agents employed by the Foundation, and developers and others with high levels of server access.
Access to and publication of this information is governed by the Access to nonpublic data policy, as well as specific policies covering some of the functions in question. Sharing information with other privileged users is not considered "distribution."
Release — Policy on Release of Data
It is the policy of Wikimedia that personally identifiable data collected in the server logs, or through records in the database via the CheckUser feature, or through other non-publicly-available methods, may be released by Wikimedia volunteers or staff, in any of the following situations:
  1. In response to a valid subpoena or other compulsory request from law enforcement,
  2. With permission of the affected user,
  3. When necessary for investigation of abuse complaints,
  4. Where the information pertains to page views generated by a spider or bot and its dissemination is necessary to illustrate or resolve technical issues,
  5. Where the user has been vandalizing articles or persistently behaving in a disruptive way, data may be released to a service provider, carrier, or other third-party entity to assist in the targeting of IP blocks, or to assist in the formulation of a complaint to relevant Internet Service Providers,
  6. Where it is reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property or safety of the Wikimedia Foundation, its users or the public.
Except as described above, Wikimedia policy does not permit distribution of personally identifiable information under any circumstances.
Third-party access and notifying registered users when receiving legal process
As a general principle, the access to, and retention of, personally identifiable data in all projects should be minimal and should be used only internally to serve the well-being of the projects. Occasionally, however, the Foundation may receive a subpoena or other compulsory request from a law-enforcement agency or a court or equivalent government body that requests the disclosure of information about a registered user, and may be compelled by law to comply with the request. In the event of such a legally compulsory request, the Foundation will attempt to notify the affected user within three business days after the arrival of such subpoena by sending a notice by email to the email address (if any) that the affected user has listed in his or her user preferences.
The Foundation cannot advise a user receiving such a notification regarding the law or an appropriate response to a subpoena. The Foundation does note, however, that such users may have the legal right to resist or limit that information in court by filing a motion to quash the subpoena. Users who wish to oppose a subpoena or other compulsory request should seek legal advice concerning applicable rights and procedures that may be available.
If the Foundation receives a court-filed motion to quash or otherwise limit the subpoena as a result of action by a user or their lawyer, the Foundation will not disclose the requested information until Wikimedia receives an order from the court to do so.
Registered users are not required to provide an email address. However, when an affected registered user does not provide an email address, the Foundation will not be able to notify the affected user in private email messages when it receives requests from law enforcement to disclose personally identifiable information about the user.

Disclaimer [edit]

The Wikimedia Foundation believes that maintaining and preserving the privacy of user data is an important value. This Privacy Policy, together with other policies, resolutions, and actions by the Foundation, represents a committed effort to safeguard the security of the limited user information that is collected and retained on our servers. Nevertheless, the Foundation cannot guarantee that user information will remain private. We acknowledge that, in spite of our committed effort to protect private user information, determined individuals may still develop data-mining and other methods to uncover such information and disclose it. For this reason, the Foundation can make no guarantee against unauthorized access to information provided in the course of participating in Foundation Projects or related communities.
